TOMBS OF ROYALTY.
A Visit to the Burial Vaults of the Ca

A Visit to the Burial Vaults of the Ca
 puchin Church at Vienna.
 In the vaults of Capuchin Church, Vienna, which are watched by the barefoot monks of the convent close by, lie the remains of deceased Elm perors and Archdukes-am motley crowd of metal collins, large and small, round which burn tall wax candles, throwing their reddish light upon the large wreaths that the imperial family places there the day before All Souls. In the center, writes a Vienna corre- spondent, is conspicuous the sarcopha- gus, with its many silver figures, raised by Joseph H. over the remains of his mother, Maria Theresa. At the foot of the sarcophagus stands an iron coffin, the simplest in the whole vault, wherein lies Joseph himself, and the ribbons of a wreath that, faded long ago, in the dim gold embroidery re- peat what he said many times before his death: ''I have got so far that I love nothing on earth except my moth- CT and the state. One of tine best best places in the vault was re- served by the Emperor's wish for the coffin of Maximilian of Mexico, by the side of which the Emperor often spends many hours. The only inmate of this vault not of royal blood is a certain Mime. Wolf, governess to the children of Maria Theresa, who wished her remains to be placed here, saying: If the Wolfin was good enough to keep us company during life she shall not be set apart from us after death" On the day before All Souls two special mes sengers left Vienna for Bavaria, bear ing with them two of the finest wreaths ever formed by human hands. The first wreath, of laurels and roses. was sent by the Emperor with orders that it should be deposited in the vault of St. Michaers church upon the tomb of King Louis of Bavaria. The second was sent to the Starnberg Lake, where in the dusk hours of All Souls Day the messenger rowed to the spot where the King was found drowned, and dropped the wreath of jasmine and ferns, fastened by a white dove with wings outspread. into the water This was sent by special order of the Empress Interior.

A Brisk Blind Man.

A familiar figure in London is that of blind old man who runs after a dog. The blind man has placard on his chest, ard in other respects he is like the typical blind beggar, but he runs along after his little four-footed guide in very original fashion. Sue h guides usually move along at snails s pace; this little creature either runs or moves at brisk trot. The result is that the master and dog are enabled to pass swiftly through great crowds. In some of the thoroughfares men with good eye-sight move slowly and with difficulty; but the begger and beggar's s dog cut swath wherever they go. The old mans stick is no sooner heard, hurriedly knock-knock-knocking on the pavement than the foot-passengers stand aside to avoid a collision.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
A KINGS DOMINION.

The carpet in the parlor is no better than the
 floor; Of the carpet in the library one can say little
 more; There's good one in the dining-room although it's rather small; But the carpet in the nursery is incest of them
 all. There's palace in the middle, circled with a wall of black, With moat of yellow water, four brown path ways running back Through fearful, frightful forest from the windows to the door, Round four lakes of deep dark water with green grifins on the shore. At the corners there are castles, and in one King Arthur reigns; In the north one is a giant, and the south is Charlemagnes. But the castle in the corner by the closet is the best, And from this rule my kingdom and reign over all the rest. But the middle park and palace are a very won drous place Statues, vases, fairies graces, flowers and bow CTS through all the space, Iris garden of enchantment, and the dreadful ogress there Is my sister-You should see her when she rum pies up her hair Now, it's very, very seldom that I'll play with dolls and girls, Cause used to go in dresses. with my hair like Marys curls; But there's first-rate fun in playing, on a rainy indoor day, That her dolls captive Princess, to be res cued in a fray. So with Kniobts of the Round Tahle and with Paladins of France, Charlemagne and I and Arthur through the wicked wood advance; And we always have such contests, before all these wilds are crossed With the giant and the grif1ns, that half our knights are lost. But at last we reach the portals, and the lovely Princess see, Then the ogress, with her magic, captures every one but me; And transfored to wood and pewter in her dun geons they repine- But bear away the Princess, so the victory is mine.

An Anecdote Which Shows the Regard | He Entertained for Trifes.
 The reader will see at a glance that the following story belongs to an ear Her generation than the present. It is told of Stephen Girard, the Philadel- phia banker, and one of the earliest of American millionaires. If any one thinks the sum involved a small one to be taken into account on either side, let him read the following note:
 For Vallu Received promise to pay to Abra- ham Anderson, Treasurer of the ministerial | fund, the sum of two dollars and thirty-ive cents and nine mills in one year from the date. -, October7 1895. -
 Men have lost regard for such seem- ing trifles, and with that loss may be counted the loss of many fortune, to say nothing of the good names lost.
 A gentleman from Europe purchased bill of exchange on Girard, to defray the expenses of tour to this country. It was duly honored on presentation, but, in the course of their transactions, it so happened that one cent remained to be refunded on the part of the Flu ropean, and on the eve of his departure from this country Girard dunned him for it. The gentleman apologized, and rendered him six-and-a-quarter-cent piece. Mir. Girard rendered him in change five cents, which the gentleman declined to accept, alleging that he was entitled to an additional quarter of cent. In reply, Girard admitted the fact, but informed him that it was not in his power to comply, as the Gov ernment had neglected to provide the fractional coin in question, and re- turned the gentleman the six-and-a- quarter-cent piece, reminding him, however, that he was still his debtor for the balance.

 stars
 On the azure field of deathless fameg Do you want me to find him? Well, no, guess You must give the search to another's charge, My acquaintance with men of this stamp, Icon

 For obvious reasons, is not very large. Do you seek aman who can found State, And plan an empire out of his brain? Who will steer the rudder of stubborn fate Through the trackless waste of an untried
 main? Do you want me to find and to introduce This man to the public to make his bow would like to oblige you but must refuse, For he's not very numerous just now! Do you seek man who will write song That shall echo on through an endless time? A mighty soul fit to join the throng Of the ancient bards and the kings of rhyme! Do you want me to find him? I must decline To hunt so elusive fellow as he; For, in this age of the world opine, He's the stubbornest kind of an absenteel Do you seek man who'll assume the weight Of the countless wealth of some millionairei And his bonds and investments with all their
 care? Do you seek such a mani You will find him at

A Great Gem m London.

It is said that the new diamond from South Africa, which is exciting the wonder and admiration of Londoners, will, when the cutting is finished, be larger than a billiard-ball, or half as large again as the Koh-i-noor Small chips from it are worth moderate for tune, the King of Portugal having paid $40, GOO for one. The lapidary who is cutting the stone sits in large shop window in Holborn, London. with the diamond fixed in a stand before him. That part which is already cut is de- scribed as flaming with internal fire, while the uncut portion is rough and dull as rock salt. UticG Herald

BUILDING A RAILROAD.

| A Story Which Explains Some Things and
 Leaves Other Things for Young Wits to
 Find Out.
 "Come, boys" said Will to the oth- CTS, "Tm tired of this humdrum play. Let's get up something new and big" "
 Agreed" came from the others; "but what shall it be, WillP"
 "A railroad" was the prompt re- ply.
 And they all shouted: "A railroadl hurrah, boys! that's just grand. We'll do it. But who knows how?"
 Il do," came from Will. Father s an engineer, and you see hear him talk to mother about it every day"
 ''Your father an engineer" ex- claimed several. Don't Mike Riley and Tim Sullivan run all the engines?"
 And Will answered with loud "Ha, ha, ha! Run engines! ha, ha, hal" and his sides shook with laughter. Compare my father to Mike and Tim! My father builds railroads"
 An they all said "Ohr' ''But what is the first thing, Will, to build a rail- road? A spade and hoe. or what?"
 Money; ten hundred thousand dol lars, and just as much more as you can get. Father says you can do any thing with money; but all the money in the world couldn't have saved little sister Rose from dying" At that a large tear came to Wills eye, and the boys all looked at him in silence.
 Then he wiped his eyes and went on: Come, boys, say how much you'll give to the new railroad. "
 Thereupon Will smoothed of spot in the sand and wrote his name, and opposite he put, "The right of way and no charge for engineering"
 And what's the right ot way3' they asked.
 You can't build roads in the air. You must have ground, and when you get it, you've the right of way See? I'll get that from father, down in the orchard, along the trout brook"
 Good for you, Will" they all shouted.
 Here, Rob, you sign for the ties; Alec, for the rails, and Jim for the roll ing stock; Dan must build the depot. Come up, now, and sign like men of enterprise. Be liberal and prompt, and we'll have the cars running by the first of June, and declare a dividend of fun at least-every day."
 All this speech from Will. And each one Iote his name under Wills say ing what he would give or do.
 Then came the word of command from our young engineer:
 Now to business. Each one to hi S home as fast as his legs will carry him, and bring an axe or spade or hoe or some tool I'll run to father for the charter-what's that? Then let's make the dirt fly"
 When I went by a few days after, by the foot of the orchard, sure enough. there they were; coats of, each one busy as bee, Will acting as engineer.
 The grading what's that? was nearly all done. Will said they would | lay the ties-what are they?-and | rails CD the next Monday, and soon l should hear the whistle. True to his promise, on the appointed | day came the ''toot, toot. toot," louder and louder till the hills sent back the sound. Hooked, and there came the train, built of wood from stem to stern," and drawn by two stout goats, instead of steam, while Jim sat on the engine with tin horn to his mouth, his cheeks puffed out like two pumpkins. That's years ago. Will is now Mir. William -, a first-class railroad man. So are some of the others. - PGiaSy.

There will be six polling places which
will have only about 500 votes to the

ample time to get every vote in the

are promptly on hand. The following

An Explanation.

1tseems that our article on changing
the crews of railroad men has caused a
storm to fall upon the heads OF some oil
the railroad boys, they being accused
of making the statements that inspired
the article. In justice to the boys, we
will say that'it was not from them that
we got our information. 1t came from
one of the boys explaining to relation
that he could not be here on Sunday,
on account of the change, and he was
in no way responsible for the item we
published, nor was his relation. The
G. 2. company explains that it was ne
cessary to change the crews mentioned
to another crews run, in order to have
some witnesses present IN the Coomas
case, which has been on trial in the
court here.
If we did any one an injustice by our
article, we deeply regret it and can
only explain that the injury was uniu-
entional. The principle, however, is
unchanged, and cannot be too strongl y
denounced.
